In barely ten seconds, all the information transformed into a library full of books!
Marvin was able to overlook the entire library, his gaze skimming across the bookshelf.
Suddenly, the bookshelf turned transparent and threads of darkness and light began stretching out, some forming entangled nodes and others forming pictures!
In the end, all the threads in the bookshelf were bound together!
A Black Dragon’s fall, countless numbers of the Underdark’s denizens dying, crimson blood dyeing the earth red, a young girl stubbornly standing on the city walls watching a cloud in the distance…
Above the cloud, there was a shadow, a pair of Goddesses looking coldly down at the city, not hiding the jealousy on their faces!
People howled in grief, soldiers fought, a strange Wyvern flew through the sky, the earth shook, and a monster covered in iron chains spared no efforts throwing itself against the city wall!
In the depths of the distant Wilds, warriors covered with black masks were holding slender swords, killing old enemies on their way back!
All the images fused into one point, ultimately turning into a horrifying explosion.
Marvin recovered from the scene, sweating.
He understood.
Upon that huge bookshelf was written in large words:
[Rocky Mountain]!
Yes, Rocky Mountain was the key to the events happening in the South!
The Underdark Winter, the eruption of the Eternal Frozen Spring, and the following invasion of the Dark Clan were all related to Rocky Mountain.
And in the game, the most famous large-scale event, [Rocky Mountain Defensive Battle], was a topic that players had discussed enthusiastically.
Despite their failure to fight off all the invaders, they still raised their heads proudly, saying that they had fought back!
‘Rocky Mountain is the key point…’
‘That’s right, in Feinan, the Gods always felt that the biggest thorn in their sides was actually the existence of the Fate Sorceresses. And now there is also me.’
‘The Twin Goddesses already started their scheme? Then this attack from the Underdark Monsters is likely only a probing attack. The Queen of Spiders is truly someone with bad intentions.’
‘Anyway…. Turns out this is the true essence of Wisdom.’
After a long sigh, Marvin opened his eyes, full of confidence.
He finally understood why that Fate Power was called [Wisdom].

Chapter 613: Information
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
With the new addition of Fate Power and the help of the Wisdom Chapter, Marvin obtained something else to make up for the loss of his “prophetic” abilities.
He felt his thoughts becoming incredibly clear. Past, present, future, everything was connected together with threads.
The contents of these threads came from a single bookshelf, which eventually turned into a finely arranged library.
This was something he had never experienced before. With all the information within his grasp, Marvin’s natural mental process had been perfected by the Plane Laws and reached the level of being prophetic on its own.
Yes, as long as Marvin thought, he could look deep into roots of all matters, which would use a great amount of energy, but it could lead to the same effect as the Divination of Legend Wizards.
Compared to Divination, the ability of this [Wisdom] to predictively deduce possible future events was even higher!
‘Although I lost my prophetic ability, this kind of deductive ability is more suitable for my current situation!’
Marvin felt overjoyed and confident, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to that girl that had given him her Fate Power.
He had already known that this was a very substantial gift, but he hadn’t thought that it would be this valuable.
The Plane’s care, an overpowered deductive ability. After experiencing its usage himself, Marvin understood why it had always felt like he was being seen through when Lorie looked at him.
When meticulous logic and deep thoughts became instinct, his ability to calculate and process things became as accurate as a machine. The only problem remaining was gathering information.
As long as he had enough information, Marvin would even be able to extrapolate the future of the world!
…
Naturally, the amount of information needed for that couldn’t be held in Marvin’s brain.
But regardless, it was an extremely powerful addition for Marvin. His strength became more balanced, while at the same time, he no longer depended only on his gaming experience.
For his first revelation, he successfully deduced that the most important part of Feinan’s South was currently Rocky Mountain.
Those people wearing black masks were part of the Dark Clan, and their invasion was a meticulous plot by the Twin Goddesses. Otherwise, that abandoned land wouldn’t appear above Rocky Mountain for no reason.
Marvin had been puzzled before: How did the Underdark Winter trigger such event, striking yet another powerful blow against Rocky Mountain?
After all, in addition to the southwest area, there were many other exits from the Underdark to the surface.
But this time, the monsters all decided to attack Rocky Mountain, as if there were a hand in the back, pushing them in that direction.
Through his calculations, he also guessed that the mastermind was the Queen of Spiders.
As one who had great influence in the Underdark, it was unknown was kind of agreement she had reached with the one in the Eternal Frozen Spring to have the Dark Specters attack Hope City!
This was clearly not good news for Marvin.
He only knew that the Three Sisters were envied by the Gods, especially the Goddesses, and most of all, the Twin Goddesses. The Queen of Spiders simply didn’t show herself in the game.
But now it seemed that what was visible was only the tip of the iceberg.
The real plot might have already been planned out back when Clarke led her army to attack Rocky Mountain.
All of this in order to weaken Rocky Mountain’s power. If not for the Three Sisters showing their incredible strength, especially Jessica’s heaven-defying display, Rocky Mountain might have already crumbled.
Of course, it had also helped that Marvin had gotten involved.
In short, in the following days, even if Marvin solved the problem of the Eternal Frozen Spring, Hope City wouldn’t remain peaceful!
The Three Sisters were cared for by the Plane, but that would also definitely attract the jealousy of others.
Perhaps in the Gods’ eyes, it was even more important to eliminate them than it was to get rid of Marvin.
They might be willing to come to a compromise with others, but they had to eliminate the Fate Sorceresses!
These might have been the real thoughts of all the New Gods.
Marvin couldn’t help but force a wan smile.
He could now be considered half a Fate Sorcerer. This was certainly something that he wouldn’t be able to keep hidden, so he might also be blacklisted by the New Gods.
Especially since he previously blew up the Shadow Prince’s God Realm and slaughtered Dark Phoenix… His status was enough to make the Gods restless.
Since they were enemies, Marvin would continue to face them.
They chose to try to break through Rocky Mountain’s defenses, and Marvin would definitely fight against all those who coveted this place.
…
Time passed very quickly. In a blink, four days had already passed.
In the current situation, time was very valuable. Not only was Marvin getting fidgety, but Jessica was even more worried because Hope City was still being encircled.
But they knew that if they couldn’t successfully get a member on the Underdark United Council, the two would most likely throw their lives away when they finally challenged the Final Ghost
Mother.
They had to join forces with the Council to get rid of that frightening existence in the Eternal Frozen Spring!
But when Raven came back, she brought good news and bad news.
The good news was that she truly managed to become a secondary member of the Underdark United Council and was able to ask around about the small group of Legends. The bad news was…
That group of Legends had already left in secret a week ago!
…
“The Council spread some misleading news before. I only heard about it now, everything was done covertly,” Raven quickly explained. “They will reach the Andes Snow Mountains in three days and then attack the Eternal Frozen Spring…”
Marvin glanced at Jessica and saw that her face was full of despair.
They had waited for so long for such a piece of information?!
The Underdark was a very complex place. Even if the two were Legends with incomparable speed, if they wanted to catch up to that team of Legends, that would be nearly impossible.
“So you mean that I can only entrust a group of Underdark freaks with the task of eradicating an even freakier monster?” Jessica was in a bad mood.
Raven felt helpless about the matter.
Marvin pondered for a moment before quickly asking, “Give me the information first.”
“Can you forge an extra order from the Council? Something that would show that Jessica and I are reinforcements sent by the Council to help…”
Raven looked at Marvin somewhat doubtfully. “This should be possible, as it’s not very difficult to make such a secret order, given my current position. However, isn’t it impossible for Master to catch up to them?
Marvin smiled as he confidently asserted, “Naturally, I have my ways.”
“How long will it take you to forge a secret order?”
Raven considered it for a few seconds and then answered, “An hour.”
Marvin turned to Jessica. “See you at the stronghold’s western gate in an hour.”
Jessica frowned. “The Andes Snow Mountains don’t have any sort of Teleportation Array nearby, or any kind of wormhole that can be used to get there.”
Marvin nodded as he responded, “That is true.”
“But I’m still confident that we can catch up to them within three days.”
“We will take the [Deep River].”
Upon hearing these words, Raven shuddered and went pale!
Chapter 614: Deep River
Chapter 614: Deep River
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
“The Deep River?”
Jessica keenly noticed the change in Raven’s expression and asked in a confused voice, “Where is it?”
Raven muttered in fright, “It is the most terrifying place in the entire Underdark!”
“Although it has been written in some ancient books that the Deep River connects the entire Underdark, and that by using it, one could travel between almost any two places in the Underdark, that place is still too dangerous.”
“It’s commonly believed that some monsters from the Astral Plane are sealed in the Deep River. Many people who have gone to explore it ended up disappearing forever.”
She looked at Marvin with worry.
Raven’s mind was being controlled by the Book of Nalu, but it didn’t actually prevent Raven from having her own thoughts, as long as she didn’t plot against Marvin or act against his interests. Normally, the Book of Nalu only bound her like a contract, making Marvin the owner of these “puppets” that would follow his orders and intentions. When required, the Book of Nalu would completely take them over too.
For Raven and the others, Marvin came first.
If Marvin died, their souls would immediately be swallowed by the Book of Nalu!
It could be said that only if Marvin remained alive would they be able to at least keep this half-independent state.
Her instincts told her to stop Marvin from going to the Deep River.
But the ridiculous part was that Marvin was her master, so she couldn’t actually go against his whims. Thus, her face became unsightly, as she couldn’t figure out what to do.
She could only tell Jessica what she knew, in hopes that the Fate Sorceress would choose to back out and decide on another course of action.
But to Raven’s despair, despite her trying to impress upon them the terror of the river, not only Marvin unfazed, not seeing any reason to change his plan, but even Jessica seemed to agree with him.
Perhaps those two felt like there was nothing too dangerous for them in this world anymore?
In the end, Raven could only cope with it. Under Marvin’s arrangements, she quickly dealt with her part of the plan.
She needed some time to forge a secret document, after all.
As a captive of the Book of Nalu, she could only execute Marvin’s orders as he wished.
…
There were shadows flickering on the walls of the cave, and occasionally, a few clumps of glowing moss floated past them. But they were repelled by the powerful ability of the Fate Sorceress.
Perhaps their aura was too powerful, because on the entire way so far, they hadn’t met a single Dark Specter. The Ghost Barrier that Marvin and Jessica had just mastered had yet to have a chance to shine.
After getting hold of the forged document, Marvin and Jessica started chasing after the group of Legends.
In normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have been able to catch up to them.
But the Deep River was a very unusual place.
Even Jessica, who had frequently dealt with creatures of the Underdark, didn’t know about it.
Only the leaders of the Underdark knew about the Deep River.
The so-called Deep River was a broad and endless river. Some even wondered whether it might be a sea whose depths led into lower planes like the Abyss, Hell, or the Negative Energy Plane.
The Underdark was a region under Feinan, and those on the surface often thought that the Underdark was the lowest part of Feinan.
But in fact, only a small number of people knew that the true lowest part of Feinan was the Deep River.
The Underdark was under Feinan, and the Deep River was under the Underdark!
Its central point was even deeper than that of the River Styx.
Even in the eyes of the Underdark’s leaders, the Deep River was one of the forbidden areas that no one was to approach, along with the Eternal Frozen Spring. It was normal for even Legends to disappear after going there.
The ancient myths, coupled with the real and existent danger, cast a mysterious veil over the Deep River.
Marvin dared to believe that no one in this world knew more about the Deep River than he did.
Although he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had learnt most of the information about the Deep River from a trailer.
Relying on the power of his newfound Wisdom, the information sorted itself out in his mind.
Many fuzzy memories became clearer, and he could review and manipulate these memories.
The reason that the Deep River was so frightening had nothing to do with the mysterious myths.
There was only one source of danger, a Crypt Monster.
‘A boss on the level of a Mid God… the remains of an ancient Evil God.’
As a large palm reaching out from the dark, expansive river appeared in Marvin’s mind, he felt a bit of excitement.
According to the official explanation, this Crypt Monster could challenge mid-level Gods!
The Crypt Monster had always been slumbering in the Deep River since ancient times.
Many people tried to explore the Deep River, but they didn’t even die from waking the Crypt Monster; it was just the monster’s reflexive fighting instinct!
So many Legends tried to adventure through the Deep River, but ended up disappearing… And they died from a monster that was sleeping! This showed how strong it was!
But Marvin didn’t have any plans to ret
reat.
He had an idea in mind.
When he worked together with Jessica, they were probably one of the most powerful duos in the world. Even Divine Servants would be easily killed if they came to be obstructive.
Although the Crypt Monster was troublesome and was at the level of a Mid God, it still only had the intelligence of a wild creature and could only fight based on instinct.
In other words, the Boss hidden in the Deep River was actually a powerful but brainless enemy.
This kind of Boss was what Marvin liked killing most of all. Since it was powerful, that he would obtain great rewards from killing it. And since it was brainless, it would have many exploitable flaws.
As he saw it, this Crypt Monster was just a meal to be eaten.
He also wanted to see how much of a distance there was between him and a Mid God!
If he couldn’t get rid of a God when joining hands with the most powerful Fate Sorceress, then once the Universe Magic Pool broke, he would only be able to wait for his death.
This battle would be an invaluable experience.
In fact, even if he hadn’t been in a hurry to settle the issue of the Eternal Frozen Spring, Marvin would probably still have tried to convince Jessica to go kill the Crypt Monster, partially for his own goals, and partially because it really would save time.
In all of Feinan, there was no enemy more suitable for him to practice against right now.
There was that existence in a glacier in the North that had been heavily injured by O’Brien. She was the descendant of an Ancient God and had outstanding intelligence, making Marvin feel that she inevitably still had some tricks left. Thus, he decided not to deal with the Azure Matriarch for now. But that woman would be exterminated sooner or later, when there was time.
…
On the way, Marvin described his plan.
Jessica certainly had no intention to avoid the fight. She was a very fierce woman, her [Power] made one of the most indomitable forces in the world. There was nowhere that she didn’t dare go.
The only doubt in her mind was…‘How could Marvin have gotten so much information about this?’
